Bespoke Jewellery

Bespoke Jewellery

If you have an existing item you would like remodeling, stones you need mounting or an idea for an item of jewellery that is simply not manufactured; then our bespoke service is what you require. With a bespoke service you are able to get exactly the piece of jewellery you require to your specifications and feel you have been instrumental in its design and conception.

We can arrange a meeting to determine your exact requirements, from this we produce drawings of potential designs, source stones for your approval and an estimation of cost. Our experience in carrying out such commissions, mean that we can advise the method that will achieve the best result. Contact our Goldsmith, Matthew Tyrrell on 01604 632548

The Design Process

First Consultation

When you first meet with one of our jewellers we will be trying to get a feel for what you are looking for. They may take notes, draw some quick sketches and will include conversations on what you like and don’t like. It is always helpful if you can bring in some images of items that inspire you to get our jewellers on the right track. If we are using some of your existing stones or jewellery, then make sure you bring this with you and be prepared to leave it with our jewellers, so they can measure it and incorporate it into the design.

Design and Estimate

Our jeweller will get back to you within an agreed timeframe with a rough sketch of their ideas and an estimate. This may be a good time to meet back up with the jeweller to make any adjustments and alternations to the design. We want you to be happy with the finished piece so don’t be afraid to speak up. There is no charge for this initial part of the design process.

CAD Drawings

Sometimes, to hand make a piece of jewellery would be too time consuming or wasteful of precious materials. This is when computer modelling is needed. If your item is to be modelled on the computer, our jeweller will now digitally draw up the design using our advanced software. This will produce a three-dimensional model that can be viewed as a high quality rendered image for you to approve before making the item.

Hands on Manufacture

Most jewellery making requires an extensive amount of hands on manufacture, often in conjunction with computer aided design but in some cases the entire process is done by hand, only using very limited machinery. In such creations the way an individual craftsman designs and works is transmitted into the final piece. Just as hand writing is infinitely varied, you can take delight in knowing your jewellery is lovingly hand crafted and completely unique.

Finished piece

The final stage of the process is for the piece to be hand finished. The stones are set, and the piece is polished ready for the final unveiling. With a bespoke service you are able to get exactly the piece of jewellery you require to your specifications and feel you have been instrumental in its design and conception.
